split nectarines |
Collected a basket of split nectarines, still
hard and sour, decided to salt and dry them, like making Asian salted plum (話梅), to be eaten in hot
summer to replenish electrolyte.
I used salt and Nigari, a magnesium rich
crystal used in making tofu, for a balance of Sodium and magnesium intake.
